Leaf-Shaped Nanostrip Fed Graphene Plasmonic Nano-Antenna for Optical Near-Field Applications

Article Preview

Abstract:

The manuscript investigates the leaf-shaped nanostrip-fed graphene plasmonic nanopatch on a silicon dioxide surface for optical near-field applications. The dispersion properties of graphene and silicon dioxide are demonstrated through Drude and Lorentz modeling to examine the suitability of the materials for the plasmonic nano-antenna design. The nano-antenna parameters TSUB (substrate thickness), W (width of the nanostrip feed line) and RL (nano-antenna size) are adjusted to modify the plasmonic resonance frequency from 7.9 THz to 40.9 THz. The proposed leaf-shaped nanostrip-fed graphene plasmonic nanopatch exhibits a reflection of -43.27 dB at 36 THz with a gain of 8.19 dB at TSUB =125 nm, W = 40 nm and RL = 50 nm.
